Chattanooga Organized for Action tried U.S. Rep. Charles “Chuck” Fleischmann today and found him guilty of murdering jobs.
The advocacy group, about 30 strong, marched from the Chattanooga Convention Center to the federal building to give Fleischmann the verdict.
Chattanooga Organized for Action, along with the Service Employees International Union, organized the protest, which coincided with Fleischmann and Gov. Bill Haslam speaking at the Convention Center.

Fleischmann has scheduled a series of town hall events in the area. They are all during normal working hours, but I hope lots of us can attend and ask him about the positions he has taken in the past two years.
Thirty people? Not exactly a ground swell.
